G
Washington carved his name right here on this rock a couple hundred years ago
G/C Dsus2
Things last a whole lot longer than you’d expect, rain from a thousand storms washed across those letters
Cadd9 G
But they weathered the test of time
G
Shared a kiss with an old girlfriend on the spot where a founding father stood
G/C Dssu2
Lasted for a second then it was gone some things don’t last as long as you wished they would, Together
Cadd9 G
We both knew that we weren’t meant to last forever
CHORUS:
C G
The wind blows in and the tide rolls out
D G
Days fly by as this world spins around
C G
Line by line and age to age
Dsus2 G G/c G G/C
We’ve all got our marks to make
There’s a table in the corner of Archie Blues that you can walk right past and never see
Hank Williams carved his name in a fit of rage and whiskey playing one night across the street
That one word Hank is Aesop, Jack, and John the Revelator.
Chorus
And I don’t know what happened to that girlfriend but I bet those letters are still right there
And Hank left us with as many songs as he could bear to write before they finished him somewhere
And as for me, as for me…
Chorus
